Hi. It is literally the biggest understatement of the century to say that I haven't updated in a while.
Honestly I dont even have a good excuse. nothing big has happened, I just never got round to writing this, really. I have been away so long some of you have probably forgotten what the hell has been happening in the story, so for YOUR sake, a breif outline:
Nessie has moved to London, with the rest of teh Cullen household, as well as two new vampires: Lizzie and Rory
Something is wrong with Lizzie, and only Edward knows. Edward wont tell Nessie the problem.
Loads of guys at school fancy Nessie, and this really annoys Jacob. At tennis club Nessie meets another vampire called Sam who she is suddenly drawn to.
Edward surprises Nessie with a trip to Forks. Everyone goes apart from Jacob. In Forks Nessie meets Edward's real sister, Rosie. I wont explain much about Rosie, if you want to know about her read chapter 11: Knives and Forks.
They get home from Forks and Jacob proposes to Nessie. She says that she will think about it. Sam calls Nessie and asks her to please be his pretend girlfriend, and she agrees.
Lizzie is acting really strange. Nessie says no to Jacob. and then Lizzie runs away. We left off when Sam and Nessie have kissed (!!!!) and Nessie is goinng round to Sam's house.
And so we begin...
The man in front of me grinned broadly upon my arrival. He was about six foot tall, with a big, round belly and Harry Potter style glasses that he can't have needed, vampires had perfect vision.
"Is this the infamous Nessie?" He asked politely, bending down so that he was my height. I glanced up at Sam, who eyed his father wearily, and answered in a cheerful manner, "yes, sir. And, who may I say is asking?" I didn't mean to speak in such a posh tone, but this man really did emphasise that he was rich, and well-spoken.
"Oh! How rude of me not to introduce myself before! I am sure Samuel has talked about me. I am Albert Theodore, Samuel's father." He smiled widely, and ruffled his son's hair fondly. I shook Mr. Theodore's hand, whilst Sam lead the way into the large mansion.
The hallway on its own was huge. It was broad and light, but with virtually no windows, apart from two on either side of the main door. The floor was a perfect white marble, stretching into the distance grandly, showing off the money that these vampires had. I immediately felt intimidated. Why was I doing this again?
"Come! Meet the family!" Mr. Theodore boomed, waving his arms about theatrically and beckoning myself and my boyfriend into the lounge area, even though we were perfectly comfortable standing.
"This was such a crappy, lame idea…" I heard Sam mutter to himself as we sat down on the tan coloured sofas, that were as hard as rock. I turned to grin at him, because even though it was a tiny bit lame and crappy, it was interesting to see how Sam had grown up.
"Hannah! Margery! Renessmee Cullen has arrived!" His voice was thick with excitement, and just as he called, two more vampires arrived at the door.
The first was a small, slight little girl. She was younger than me, by a few very obvious years. Her mousy brown hair flowed down to her waist, in a perfect straight block. Her topaz eyes sparkled at my arrival, and her beautiful face made me feel so tiny and ugly and small that I wanted to leave straight away. Her arms swung limp at her sides, and she looked like a young child.
Her mother was a different story. Sam's mother was like Esme; only she was nothing like as beautiful. Her face was almost plain, for a vampire anyway, and her brow creased as if with old age. Her skin was a papery white, and I had an odd urge to touch it, or flick it with my hand. Despite this, Sam's mother smiled just as broadly as her husband had, and she rested her arm around her little daughter, whom I guessed was called Hannah. I thought that Sam had mentioned Hannah before.
"Welcome, Nessie. Make yourself at home." Margery said calmly, giving Sam some kind of warning look that I was too human to understand.
"I'm Hannah. I have heard a lot about you!" Hannah mumbled. You could tell she was a bubbly, lively girl – only she was too shy.
"Thank you. Very much." Just as I said this, and Hannah, Margery and Mr. Theodore smiled as if they had made me feel at home, my mobile buzzed. I glanced up at Sam, and he nodded as if to say that I could take the call. I was so grateful that I hadn't hung up, it was Lizzie.
"Lizzie?"
"Nessie. I am so sorry. I am so, so sorry. I want you to meet me. You have to come and meet me. I need your help so desperately that I feel as if I can hardly breathe when you are not here. I need you to come and sort this out, because you will be able to sort this out!" Her voice was shrill with panic, and she shot through the words so quickly even I found it hard to catch them all. I hung up quickly, not sure what to do.
Luckily, the vampires I was with, had heard the conversation as well.
"Go. Your family needs you." Mr. Theodore said.
"Thank you, Mr. Theodore."
"It's Albert." I shook Mr. Theodore's hand warmly, and waved goodbye to Hannah and Margery, who looked suddenly disappointed that I should be leaving. Then I realised, they were all waiting to see how Sam and I would say goodbye. He realised this at the same time I did, and awkwardly kissed me on the cheek, whispering a sweet goodbye so silently that no one else could hear.
"It's been a pleasure," I added, before hurtling out of the door, and phoning Lizzie once again.
"Where are you?" I demanded, dashing down the backstreets of London, not knowing where I was going.
"In the forest… Somewhere. Please, you have to find me…" She whispered, almost begged, into the phone. I immediately set off home, feeling randomly happy. Happy that Lizzie was talking to me again, and happy that she wanted my help.
It took what seemed like hours to reach my house, and when I did I didn't stop to rest, I ran straight into the forest, calling Lizzie's name as if my life depended on it. Finally, she replied, and I found her cowered behind a tree, her head on her knees, as if she were crying.
"Lizzie…" I tried to soothe her as I stepped closer to her. But, I didn't help, and she turned to glare at me with angry eyes.
"Its alright for you isn't it? You have boys clinging to you!"
"What? Lizzie? What are you talking about?" No greeting? No 'hello' or 'missed you'? Just an accusation? Was that all I got?
I could forgive Lizzie though, she didn't look too good. Her eyes were a flat, slatey black. They had no depth to them, they were merely shallow pools of sadness, set in a face as white as snow. Her face was crumpled into a mask of despair, her mouth set into a permanent grimace. I crept forward to my sister, cupping her cheek in my hand.
"Lizzie, its going to be alright." I whispered.
"I have to tell you, then you wont say that." She murmured, leaning her head against the tree behind her. I didn't say anything. That was why I was here, after all, to find out the truth.
"Go on then." I prompted her, unfairly impatient.
"I am in love. With a human. With a boy called Felix." Her face crumpled again, as though she were crying. I patted her on the head, silently furious that she had not told me.
"So?" I asked curtly, wondering what she had between two people getting together who were not from the same species.
"He doesn't like me! He says that I am odd, different! He wont date me! He wont come to the ball with me! I am in love with him!" She cried out, sobs bursting out through her. Well, sob-like sounds.
"It's okay. I will help you…" I said, wondering what the hell there was to help. She would break poor Rory's heart; she wasn't concerned about that part though. Lizzie was only concerned about the part that put her feelings in jeopardy.
Another interruption came quickly, I could hear yelling. Fighting and yelling. Screaming and growling and swearing. And I knew who it was, and I had a pretty good guess at why they were doing it.
Okay so I do realise that it wasnt ver good. But, bear with me, I still need to get back into the swing of things. :)
Thanks, and please review,
